Odenton Heritage Society Reopening and Celebration

The Odenton Heritage Society will mark Odenton’s 150th anniversary with a yearlong celebration and the reopening of their museum at an Open House on Sunday, August 1, 2021.  It was on August 2, 1871 that the U. S. Post Office Department established the Odenton post office at a new railroad junction
under construction near the present MARC station.  Trains began running through the junction on July, 1872, and Odenton’s identity – a railroad town named for Baltimore and Potomac Railroad President Oden Bowie – was complete.

The OHS Museum presents more than 150 years of local history through objects, photographs, and A-V programs in a restored 1912 building located at 1367 Odenton Road.  Hours are from 1PM – 4PM. Admission is free.

Wearing a mask if you have been vaccinated is your choice, a mask is required if you have not been vaccinated.
